LOST Season 1 Quick Rewind

An old friend sent me this message just now through MSN. He said something like:

"Yo wassup. I just watched Lost, have u seen it?"

I was blown away. 'What do you mean have I seen it?! I've been a big fan of it for the last 4 years!!'

So yeah, turned out he just saw the pilot episode from ABC.com. Currently, he's watching episode 3 of Season 1, Tabula Rasa aka the first Kate episode. Kinda funny how he sent me messages while watching the episodes. Comments he made like "the korean guy is such an asshole!" and "the blonde sister is so hot!" makes me feel nostalgic. Ah..the good days of Season 1.

You realize that so much have changed. Before Jin speaks English to Jack, he was indeed such an asshole to his wife. Before Kate is this annoying girl flirting with Jack & Sawyer, she was a mysterious badass chick. Before Sayid becomes a badass, he was already a badass!! I mean, who would've guessed by watching Jack waking up in the jungle that the show is all about a battle between a douchebag leader of a corporation and a creepy leader of an island community.

So here's a quick run through of what I remember about the first season episode by episode. Remember, this is done through memory.



Pilot pt1
First episode. Chaos on the beach. Explosions. First heard the monster sound, scared the shit out me. Jack, Kate & Charlie hiking to the front section. Pilot was played by Greg Grunberg (now we know his name is Seth Norris). Pilot dies.

Pilot pt2

Tabula Rasa
Kate's flashback in Australia. She's a fugitive. Sawyer shoots the Marshal and missed!! He dies eventually.

Walkabout
Boars. "We hunt!" Knives! Locke badass! Randy the jackass boss. Locke face the monster. "Don't tell what I can't do!!" He's in a wheel chair!! I love this show!

White Rabbit
Jack sees dead father. Goes crazy. "What if everything that happened..Happened for a reason" empty coffin! The monster stole his body probably! "Live together, die alone"



House of the Rising Sun
Jin was good until he works for Sun's dad. Michael hate Jin. Sun speaks English!



Moth
Charlie's addicted to drugs. Withdrawal. "I'm a bloody rock god!" Charlie's brother Liam. Cave in with Jack. Charlie throws heroin to the fire.



Confidence Man
"Dear Mr. Sawyer, you kill my parents" Sawyer gets tortured. Sawyer gets to kiss Kate. Sayid a badass. Sawyer is actually a tortured soul. Sayid walks away from the camp.



Solitary
Sayid's love interest back in Iraq, Nadia. Sayid meets Rousseau. "The others. They whisper" Hurley's inaugural Island cup. "They're sick!" "Watch them, watch them closely"



Raised by Another

All the Best Cowboy have Daddy Issues
Jack has daddy issues. Christian Shephard is drunk. Jack fights Ethan. "Redshirts" "sounds like a piss poor captain" Locke and Boone find the Hatch. Charlie almost die.



Whatever the Case may be
Sawyer tries to open a briefcase. Briefcase have guns. Kate wants toy plane. Shannon singing La mer

Special

Homecoming
Claire's back and Ethan too. Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid & Locke team up to take down Ethan. But Jack gets all the glory. Charlie shoots Ethan!! Charlie and the photocopy machine LOL






Outlaw

...in Translation

Numbers

Deus Ex Machina
Locke's fucked up father, Anthony Cooper. Kidney stolen. Boone falls with the Nigerian plane. "I did everything I asked you to do then why did you do this! WHY!" lights come out of the Hatch. WTF!

Do No Harm
Boone dies. Claire gives birth. Jack has issues. "find John Locke"







Greater Good
Sayid interrogates Locke. Sayid plays Half Life. Arab terrorists. Shannon tries to shoot Locke. "take me to the hatch"

I've been neglecting this blog Hehe

Yeah yeah, I've been neglecting this blog for my other blog. Fear not, I'm planning to post more soon. Several stuff I like to write about.

My LOST Season Pattern Theory

This is the place where I published my 'one hit wonder' theory. Reading it again, I laughed at how outdated it is. The premiere of the fourth season of Lost shot an arrow to the theory. It opened with Hurley rather than a new character as I predicted.

Mark commented on my theory and pointed this problem even before Season Four premiered.

mark said...
I think your on to something NMAN. But I think Seasons 4, 5, and 6 starting with new characters when there is so many already is probably not true. I think if you look at what the season starts out as really we see close ups and then it is revealed to us where we really are. Season 1, was on jacks eye, then we reveal were on the island, then its during the plane crashing. Season 2, was desmond and him then working out, fixing breakfast, then we realize hes in the hatch. Season three was juliet listening to music in a house, then she goes outside, then sees the plane blow up, and then we realize we were in some other-ville. I think season four and five and six will start the same. We'll see something or some stuff happening then we'll realize where, not who, but where we are. It will most likely be off the island, or on the freighter, since on island, and somewhere else on the island, have already been used.

There's also the fact about the recent spoiler on NY Post. Damon outlined the theme of the upcoming season as follows:

Season 4 - who gets off the island and the fact that they need to get back

Season 5 - why they need to get back

Season 6 - what happens when they get back

Now it seems that my theory is wrong (S4 - rescue, S5 - return). But I think that from now on, each season will have two themes, one for present time and the other for the flash forward. I'm working on updating this theory along that idea.

Not Penny's Boat

Check out my post on the Freighter gang here. BTW, it's ok to highlight the spoilers because the episode "Confirmed Dead" already aired.

Stay tuned for more updates

Season pattern theory

I don't update this blog daily or regularly. You see that I spend more time on my other blog (http://trylobyte.wordpress.com/). This place is where I would put any thoughts that I have on my favourite show Lost. It's not meant to be a big fan site where every character and episode information is available.

So here's a theory I have that shows a pattern on the themes of each season finale. It can also help to predict themes of future seasons. So here it is, "The Seasonal Thematic Pattern Theory"

For every season finale of Lost, there are two types of cliffhangers: Primary and Secondary. The themes of the primary cliffhanger will be carried over the next season to serve as its major theme. The theme of the secondary cliffhanger (clfh) is the theme of the season after that. Confused? Doesn't make any sense? Here's an example:

Season 1
Hatch door blown up (Primary clfh) & Walt kidnapped by Others (Secondary clfh)

The theme of the primary clfh was the Hatch which was the dominant theme of the second season. The theme of the secondary clfh was the Others which obviously was the main theme of the third season.

Season 2
Jack, Kate, Sawyer captured (Primary clfh) & Penny (Secondary clfh)

The primary clfh involves the Others (the theme of the next season) while the secondary clfh was about the possibility of rescue (what looks to be the theme of the upcoming fourth season).

Here's a diagram form of the theory:




As you can see from the diagram, I predict that the real 'end game' of the show would be first revealed at the season finale of the fourth season as a secondary cliffhanger (marked on the diagram as a question mark). I also made several other predictions as well such as the theme of the 4th and 5th season. The upcoming 4th season would probably be about 'Rescue'. It will show how the survivors get rescued and leave the island. But as you all know, something is wrong and they need to go back to the island. Thus the fifth season will be about their 'Return'.

This theory can also be used to see who opens the season premiere. The previous three seasons were about the Survivors, Hatch and the Others so the seasons were opened by Jack, Desmond and Juliet respectively. With this theory, we know that the next two seasons will be about 'Rescue' and 'Return'. Therefore, the character that opens these seasons will have to be connected to their respective theme.

The fourth season is about 'Rescue' so I think it will open with a new character aboard Naomi's freighter. The fifth season will be about 'Return' so probably that season will introduce a new character (or a new set of characters) who would be important in getting the survivors return to the island.
